Torsen Spider VS standard diffs

[Jungleboy]

Hey guys I'm just wondering what are the advantages of a Torsen Spider diff over the standard diffs used in my Hoa Bao Hyper Pro 7 PBS?

I'm presuming they are stronger due to there billet construction and as I understand have 8 planetary gears as opposed to 6 in the standard diff...

Aside from being stronger do they function any differently to a well set up stock diff with the correct weight oil?

I wont be racing, just bashing around on a variety of surfaces from tarmac, grass, gravel and loose dirt on my brothers MX track.

Basically I drive for fun and wouldnt mind if it pulls the odd wheelie and oversteers a little..

I was thinking of putting a pretty heavy wieght oil (50,000) in the center diff, 3k in the front and 1k in the rear...

Will this give the results I desire?

Should I consider a Torsen spider for any or all of my 3 diffs?

Any help appreciated!

Cheers Jai

Well I am not really what the results you desire are but I think for bashing the standard diffs will do just fine. I would go a bit thicker on the diff oils in front and rear. I run 50k center, 15k front and 10k rear. I noticed when I ran the thicker oil I got better traction.

Just go thicker on the fluids and learn what happens. 50K is really thick for a buggy! It won't turn too well but for bashing who cares.
The price of the torsen diffs is ridiculous anyways.
